		A Very Unofficial John Irving Page ^Votes:0 A Very Unofficial John Irving Page -a work in progress- This page was born on 4 September 1996 to provide information about the life and works of one of America's finest authors (and Canada's too). His work has always touched me--his unique mixture of comedy, tragedy, and the bizarre is far more true to life than some critics seem to think LATEST NEWS : A new film, Door in the Floor , is based on Irving's A Widow for One Year and will be released in late 2003. It stars Jeff Bridges, Kim Basinger, and Mimi Rogers. His most current novel is The Fourth Hand , available in hardback and on audio book. The story goes... Television reporter Patrick Wallingford becomes a story himself when he loses his hand to a caged lion while in India covering a circus.

		Hemingway's Paris: Ernest Hemingway ^Votes:0 ERNEST HEMINGWAY Brief Life of E. H. Timeline of E. H. in Paris Brief Life of Ernest Hemingway Ernest Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois, a community outside of Chicago. His father, Clarence, was a medical doctor, and his mother, Grace, gave piano and voice lessons. The family spent summers in Upper Michigan, where Ernest was able to indulge his passion for fishing. After his graduation from high school in 1917, Hemingway worked for awhile in Kansas City as a reporter for the Star . He wanted to enlist in the army during WWI, but his eyesight prevented that. Instead, Ernest drove ambulance for the Red Cross near the Italian front. He was himself wounded on July 8, 1918 and spent months in hospital convalescing. Hemingway returned to the U.S., a bit of a local hero i Read More Go to Site

		Introductory Page - Uncle Remus History/Ethnology Research Project ^Votes:0 ---------------------------- Editor's Note: On July 20, 1879 an undersized thirty-year-old journalist from Atlanta known as Joe Harris began a journey from relative obscurity to interregional fame. On that day, the Atlanta Constitution published the young copy editor's "Story of Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Fox as told by Uncle Remus." Within months, magazines across the country were reprinting his tales, and after more than 1,000 written requests for a collection, the first Uncle Remus book was published in November, 1880. At the time, Harris said his purpose was not ethnology, or folklore analysis, but simply documentation. He doubted that his stories and character sketches would have any lasting historical value. He was wrong. Uncle Remus: Social Context and Ramifications is an attempt to reintro Read More Go to Site

		Sharks in Literature: Hemingway ^Votes:0 Ernest Hemingway from The Old Man and the Sea Background for this excerpt: On this day, the old man, Santiago, went far out to sea, fishing alone in his small skiff. After a great battle, he caught a huge marlin (later on referred to as being 18 feet long with a "handsome, beautifully formed tail"). Thus, "they" in the first sentence refers to the man and this marlin ("the fish"), who is lashed to the side of the boat. Now they are on their way back to shore. They sailed well and the old man soaked his hands in the salt water and tried to keep his head clear. There were high cumulus clouds and enough cirrus above them so that the old man knew the breeze would last all night. The old man looked at the fish constantly to make sure it was true. It was an hour before the first shark hit him. T Read More Go to Site
